Hi,
               We are seeing a ovs-vswitchd service crash with segfault in the librte_vhost library when a DPDK application within a guest VM is stopped.

               We are using OVS 2.11.1 on CentOS 7.6 (3.10.0-1062 Linux kernel) with DPDK 18.11.2.

               We are using OVS-DPDK on the host and the guest VM is running a DPDK application. With some traffic, if the application service within the VM is restarted, then OVS crashes.

               This crash is not seen if the guest VM is restarted (instead of stopping the application within the VM).

               The crash trackback (attached below) points to the rte_memcpy_generic() function in rte_memcpy.h. It looks like the crash occurs when vhost is trying to dequeue the packets from the guest VM (as the application in the guest VM has stopped and the huge pages are returned to the guest kernel).

               We have tried enabling iommu in ovs by setting
"other_config:vhost-iommu-support=true" and enabling iommu in qemu using the following configuration in the guest domain XML:
<iommu model='intel'>
    <driver intremap='on'/>
</iommu>
               With iommu enabled ovs-vswitchd still crashes when guest VM restarts the network service.

               Is this a known problem? Anyone else seen a crash like this?  How can we protect the ovs-vswitchd from crashing when a guest VM restarts the network application or service?

Thanks
Alex

Hello,

I am wondering if there was any progress in this topic, we are seeing a very similar issue, where a VM level application restart triggers segmentation fault and failed to allocate MBuf on the host level

CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core)
dpdk-18.11.5-1.el7_8.x86_64
openvswitch-2.11.0-4.el7.x86_64
libvirt 4.5.0
QEMU 4.5.0 (API)
QEMU 2.12.0
3.10.0-1127.13.1.el7.x86_64

And we get the same crash

#0  0x00007f96cb72e7ee in rte_memcpy_generic () from /lib64/librte_vhost.so.4
#1  0x00007f96cb7350f2 in rte_vhost_dequeue_burst () from /lib64/librte_vhost.so.4

#8  0x00007f96c94118dd in clone () from /lib64/libc.so.6

We have tried upgrading host level artifacts:

dpdk-20.11.3-1.el7.x86_64
openvswitch-2.16.1-1.el7.x86_64

With backtrace:
